I absolutely hate how Yes, Chef! blindsided current contestants with returning chefs, and you will too

Yes, Chef! Season 1 Episode 6 returned with an unexpected twist that shocked the current contestants on the show. With eliminated cheftestants returning to the show, and competing to get their re-entry in the competition, blindsided remaining chefs.

The latest episode saw five eliminated cheftestants, Julia Chebotar, Petrina Peart, Torrece Gregoire, Michelle Francis, and Peter Richardson, returning to the episode. They were given a chance to re-enter the competition by impressing the judges, Martha Stewart and José Andrés, with a sweet dish.

While it seemed all well and good and an opportunity for the eliminated contestants to win the title, it surely blindsided the rest of the participating chefs. The remaining chefs, who earned their spot in the competition after going through various challenges they faced, I hate how Yes, Chef! out of the blue, introduced the twist.

Yes, Chef! Episode 6: The Show brings back eliminated cheftestants while blindsiding the remaining contestants

Yes, Chef! Episode 6 introduced the latest twist, which not only shocked the viewers but also the remaining chefs on the show. The sixth episode, titled Sweet Revenge, truly felt like a revenge that blindsided the cheftestants.

Before the latest twist was introduced, Yes, Chef! had five remaining chefs, including Emily, Lee, Jake, Zain, Ronny, and Christopher. With the new twist, being, eliminated contestants were brought back and given a chance to prove themselves.

They were:

• Julia Chebotar,
• Petrina Peart,
• Torrece Gregoire,
• Michelle Francis, and
• Peter Richardson.

After a sweet-dish challenge, two of the chefs would return to the show and would grab their spots in the competition to win the title. The challenge resulted in Julia Chebotar and Petrina Peart's return to Yes, Chef!

So, things worked out for the two, but what about the remaining, original chefs, who were competing in the show? It seems as if they were robbed and completely in the dark about such an unexpected twist.

This twist was not only a test of returning cheftestants' culinary skills, but it felt as if it was a psychological challenge for the remaining chefs. Witnessing two former chefs returning to the show surely feels like chaos. It is going to affect the dynamics between the chefs and will also affect the competition, moving forward.

The twist introduced an unexpected twist to the competition and, as Chef Emily Brubaker stated in the episode, was absolutely "haunting." It also raised the culinary competition bar pretty high, and will require each of the chefs to deliver even better performances.

The latest development in Yes, Chef! surely mixed tension in an already tense situation by bringing back two of the eliminated chefs. Witnessing such an event forces me to think that it might be the show's attempt at bringing back more chefs to stir drama. Because, with more drama comes more chaos, and what better than more chefs added to the pot (sorry, to the competition!)

Whenever a culinary competition adds such unexpected factors, such as twists, it also adds emotional depth to the show, along with drama, of course. It would be interesting and intense to witness how the remaining chefs will navigate throughout challenges in the show's upcoming episodes.
